••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• This week: 8th Grade Objectives:
1. Go to Timetoast.com> Make an Account
2. Go to http://www.shmoop.com/events/history/us/the-civil-war.html
3. Recreate the Shmoop Civil War timeline at Timetoast. Add a picture and a link to a site about what's on the date. Yes, copying is ok; we'll need to cite sources (Easy Bib) on one of the slides. This activity is about learning to timeline.
ALSO:
Go through the Amendment Wikis and doing the activities there....I suggest
going in numerical order, and keeping a note, so you don't get lost. Go to the Constitutional Wiki: http://spvconstitution.wikispaces.com/Amendment01
The notes are finished, let's get started on the PPTs and movies.....use the template below (it's ok to download it)
to create a PPT or movie about your defense plan. (Note to movie people, you'll need to have title sections and
say all the same things as the PPT kids....use the PPT template to create a script)
